WHAT WE’RE FIGHTING FOR

America is at a crossroads.
Burdened with soaring fuel prices, more and more people are seeing their dreams slipping away amid the escalating costs of transportation and a lack of housing that is affordable near good jobs, schools, shops and parks. Our national dependence on oil leaves us vulnerable to unstable parts of the world, uncertain supplies and the whims of oil companies, and contributes significantly to global climate change.
Yet our national transportation program, geared toward solving yesterday’s problems rather than building America’s future, seems incapable of delivering the world-class options we deserve, whether it be inter-city or urban rail, clean buses, streets for safe walking and biking or well-maintained bridges and highways.
TO THAT END,
Transportation for America has formed a broad coalition of housing, environmental, public health, urban planning, transportation and other organizations. We’re all seeking to align our national, state, and local transportation policies with an array of issues like economic opportunity, climate change, energy security, health, housing and community development.
Issues that will play a key role in strengthening the foundation of our nation and give families and individuals greater, and more appealing options.
We’re a campaign on the move, marshalling other like-minded groups and resources together to bring about a better vision of America for the 21st century. Join with us by taking action, signing up for updates, and stay tuned for upcoming opportunities for your organization or group to become a partner.
Together we can realize a better transportation system that works for all Americans.
